+      ```ruby
+      windows_service 'BITS' do
+        action :configure_startup
+        startup_type :manual
+      end
+      ```
+
+      **Creating Services**
+
+      Create a service named chef-client:
+
+      ```ruby
+      windows_service 'chef-client' do
+        action :create
+        binary_path_name "C:\\opscode\\chef\\bin"
+      end

+
+      Create a service with `service_name` and `display_name`:

+        action :create
+        display_name 'CHEF-CLIENT'

+
+      ```ruby
